Just bought a detached house in Redhill , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Redhill conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are addressed.

As far as conveyancing in Redhill registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises thus registration formalities is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
